Nautilus gears with improved frame

Nautilus gears have a non-constant gear ratio, and thus the rotation speed varies during the turn.

Remix of a great model by MishaT. These spiral shaped nautilus gears have varying gear ratio throughout the rotation, unlike normal circular gears.

I found that the wheels kept catching on the frame, so I added a ring segment to the frame. This rotates more freely for me.

The wheels printed in Watermelon MagicPLA look quite mesmerizing.
